1994 Honda Civic Del Sol Si Coupe 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1994 Mileage:155645
Location:

West Hartford, Connecticut, United States

West Hartford, Connecticut, United States

First, the odd thing.  VIN# decodes as an Si.  Engine clearly states VTEC on it (see pictures).  Go figure.  Never noticed until I ran the VIN through the decoder.

From 1994 to 2003 this was a winter only car.  From 2003 to present it was my daily commuter and weekend errand runner.  I'm not much fun, and frugal on gas, so I didn't tear around town at high speed, etc.


Condition:
The bad:
Left side door was hit.  Door, locks, window still function fine (see pics)
Body rust on lower rear left and right side (see pics)
CEL code #41, primary oxygen sensor heater
Starter needs a couple turns of the key when it's really cold (like under 32 degrees)
Center exhaust pipe needs replacing (current one was welded in as we could not source a center pipe in reasonable time)
Chips on hood and side. Car was repainted original color in August 2008
Stereo does not work (it's an after market Sony CD). I will throw in a used Sony Bluetooth radio that I have not installed yet
Antenna is missing.
left side driver seat upholstery is worn on left bolster

The good:
Runs great
Low mileage
All original parts, no mods made (beyond exhaust system)
Current windshield is 2 1/2 years old
non-smoker
29+ MPG (city/highway)

History:
I am second owner, having purchased car in 2000 with 35K miles on it.
Only accidents have been a left driver side door dent when someone hit the car when they backed out of their driveway; left rear quarter panel damage when I hit a pole; a piece of concrete (about gold ball size) fell from a truck and dinged the hood.  Ding and rear quarter panel repaired when I had entire car repainted in August 2008.  Door dent is still present.

Payment:
Deposit of $300 via paypal due within 48 hours of sale.
Balance do in cash at time of pick-up.
You must bring your own plates to transport.
Within a 100 mile range I will drive car to you for $1 per mile (round trip) payable upfront via paypal.

Car is located in Silver Spring, MD.  If you wish to inspect prior to bid contact me.  If you have additional questions, contact me.

Car is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early, even if there are bids made.

2014 Honda Civic priced from $18,190*, new CVT boosts city mpg

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

For the third consecutive model year, Honda has given its Civic lineup some substantial improvements, and with the 2014 Civic Coupe and Sedan going on sale this week, the automaker has released pricing and fuel economy numbers for its gas and non-Si models. Honda has not released any images of the 2014 Civic Sedan yet, but we got our first look at the updated Coupe last month at SEMA.
Aside from styling changes introduced on the 2013 Sedan being carried over to the 2014 Coupe, the biggest update to all 2014 Civics might be the addition of the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Fuel economy figures carry over for cars with the manual transmission, but models swapping the previous five-speed automatic for the new CVT are seeing a boost in city fuel economy by 2 mpg helping the Civic max out at 31 mpg city for the fuel-miser HF trim level.
In terms of pricing, the 2014 Civic is getting a modest price hike of $225 for the base LX models, which now start at $18,190* for the Coupe and $18,390* for the Sedan (*not including $790 for destination charges). The sedan-only HF trim level is up $175, there's a $275 price increase for the EX and EX-L Coupe and EX Sedan models and an extra $475 has been tacked on to the EX-L Sedan.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

How Seinfeld hopes he'll help industry make better car commercials [w/video]

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Bloomberg has a fascinating look into a web series that continues to be a favorite around the Autoblog offices - Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The series, which is in its second season, sees the affable comedian picking up fellow comedians in a range of interesting cars, and having conversations with them over the drive and a cup of joe.
The piece by Bloomberg dives into the development of the series, as well as Seinfeld's tie-up with Acura, which saw the Honda-owned brand begin sponsorship this season. That relationship started not with his web series, though, but with a Super Bowl ad, alongside fellow funnyman and car enthusiast Jay Leno, that saw them competing over a new Acura NSX. Have a click over to Bloomberg for an entertaining piece that looks beyond the YouTube series. We've also wrangled Seinfeld's original Super Bowl ad for the Acura NSX, which you can see below.
